I can understand Jay Jay's position on this. I am not in a band but can put myself in their shoes with the information and experiences I've had privilege of being exposed to. That being said, if this biz model is what works for them, then fans I feel should respect that. You read a lot of message boards where fan are far too demanding. They expect to the band to dictate their every request and put out new material on demand. If I was in a bands shoes this type of stuff would discourage me from wanting to do anything. We must be grateful for the body of material the band has given us, and the fact they play select shows. It's makes the anticipation to see them much more greater. I still get goosebumps on my arms when AC DC comes on at a live show.
I will forever be grateful for everything the band gives us. I don't need any new material, but I wouldn't judge the band either by calling them sellouts because the new stuff sounds so different or call them washed up because the new stuff sounds like the old stuff. I would support it either way. If I had one request it would be for the band to take all that great bonus material recorded on cassette tapes and released on the 2 disc Stay Hungry anniversary release. Re record those tracks and have Rick Rubin produce it and do them justice. They are great songs. Oh and one more request, I hope to see you guys come "home" to play The Chance in Poughkeepsie one day soon... Take care guys..
Joe
